“It was an excuse to gather all the ideas that you usually have to cut out or cut down on and throw them back in and keep it interesting. We were also trying to imagine someone on a dancefloor. Thinking about somewhere like Paradise Garage or one of those places in an era we never were or have never been, dancing to a song that’s 17 minutes and 20 seconds long. I think you can actually imagine people doing that when you put it on. It’s so different from anything we’ve done before. We’ve never really been given that type of freedom with a song.”

“Getting the flow right with Petbrick has always been important. I am kind of genre hopping a lot, especially with the electronics and stuff and figuring out like a musical language, how to move from one to the other. It can be abrupt, it doesn’t have to always be smooth. That’s kind of like dance music production – you know, you have the drop, as it were. I think this track has a nice kind of drop bang in the middle of it, where the whole mood changes. Normally in a dance track, you’d do that over one minute thirty, but I’ve done it over ten minutes!”

Ligeti Quartet released NUC, a new album featuring Anna Meredith's compositions arranged for string quartet, via Mercury KX in 2023. Described by DJ Mag as “an exercise in innovative instrumentals with plugged-in aspects spanning crescendo-filled curios, reflective mournful moods, arpeggiated frenzies and dramatic builders”, and by the BBC as "an album that continually surprises and enlightens", the deluxe version of the album also features the Songs for M8 suite, performed here at state51.

Vanishing Twin fly deeper into their sonic universe, blending elements from an improvisational session, raw recordings of the natural world, and early 20th century poetry to create sublime, cosmic pop. This twenty-minute piece has embellishments of sparkling synth and lyrical vignettes that are reminiscent of English folk melodies, with lyrics adapted from A.E. Housman’s 1922 poem, ‘Tell Me Not Here, It Needs Not Saying’

'You Laugh At My Face' is an almost 22-minute cover of a Patrick Cowley and Jorge Socarras track. They make the song their own by utilising an expansive arsenal of dub-like tactics. Excepting a rough-and-ready surprise near the track's conclusion, 'You Laugh At My Face' is a genuinely gorgeous, psychedelic exploration of the original.

'Every Knife In This House Is Mine' is a 20 minute track with passages of manipulated drumwork which are bookended by the band performing together in full skronking and lumbering flow. In a move that vaguely echoes the ecstasy of their live sets, it finishes with a warm and symphonic cacophony of horns.
